If you already use Yahoo Mail, you’re going to be seriously stoked about this one. If you don’t use it, this could almost be a good enough reason to switch. I’m still a big gmail fan, but this has me drooling
Yahoo announced today that they’ve built an RSS aggregator in to Yahoo Mail. […]

The only reason I’m bringing this up is because A) I own a PSP and B) Many of your students own one or a similar device (such as a palm, ipod, cell phone,etc.)
Sony updated the PSP firmware and they have now built in RSS support! Sounds fantastic, eh? Unfortunately, not […]

At this point I’ve had to explain to explain so many times what I do during the day that it almost seems redundant to blog about it. It is pretty exciting stuff though, so I figure I should share anyway. Oh, and for the record, this is my general understanding of how things […]

I was reading Dean’s post about discussing why educators should try to comment more on other people’s blogs and followed a link to a student of his. I love the name of the blog (This is Not a Rant), but besides that I found a post that really reinforces what he was talking about.
As […]

The Edublog Awards 2005 have been announced. I think the hard part is going to be narrowing down my nominations to two per catgory. There’s so many good blogs out there that should be recognized.
The best part about the awards are that they let you know about the blogs you should be checking […]

Hrrrm… Interesting post by the Bionic Teacher: The Line Between Helping and Helping Too Much. Something that I’ve struggled with quite a bit, and am struggling with right now actually. Where’s the line between spoon feeding and making something painless?
I don’t believe everyone needs to be a geek. Most people can […]

Last week I presented a little session about podcasting at Blawgthink, a conference for legal bloggers. The first day of the conference was fairly traditional, with various strands and presentations for all varieties of skill levels. The second day was entirely in the Open Space format. There were no scheduled sessions, […]

Ok, I really shouldn’t get into this one because I know I’m going to wind up on a soap box, but Dean’s post about videoblogging has forced me to comment. He’s actually responding to a post of Alan’s, so you can get all the background you might need!
My two cents on video blogging: […]

Re: Are you burying your content?
Ever feel really dumb when you have the tools to make what seems like a complicated task incredibly simple but you don’t even realize it? I was just commenting on how one problem with a blog is that your good content eventually drifts off into the ether. It’s […]

I just had to share this one. I was doing some searching around Technorati today (it was work related, I swear), and decided to browse through a few Tag searches. Of course, the first search I did was for the word “Education“.
When you do a Technorati Tag search, it gives […]

A few days ago, John Pederson posted that his goal was to introduce href=”http://pedersondesigns.com/2005/11/11/new-blogger-challenge/#comments”>10 new people to Bloglines in 10 days.

I need a few weeks off to get caught up with everything that’s been happening in the last 90 days.
I know that sounds pretty silly, but hear me out. In the past week, I’ve started blogging again, podcasting again, listening to podcasts, reading blogs, and attended a conference where the main topic is blogs […]

Rick Klau is the presenter and he’ll be talking about RSS and feeds. He’s the VP of business development for Feedburner, so I’d imagine that he knows what he’s talking about!
Bah. Must. Stop. ADD. Urges. Hearing that he works for Feedburner made me wonder about my own stats. So […]

Well, I’m here at the Catalyst Ranch for BlawgThink 2005. Matt is giving an overview of the goals of the conference and I really love what he started off with: Conference reform. The main idea is that the best part of conferences quite often isn’t the actual sessions or workshops, it’s the conversations […]

Today I’ll be giving a presentation about podcasting to about a hundred prominent legal bloggers at BlawgThink 2005. Sound strange? An educator/tech geek presenting for a bunch of lawyers? Well, I can’t argue with you.
It all came about when I attended BlogWalk 6.0 last year in Evanston, IL. While […]
